[Verse 1]
D G F#m Bm
You're a crystal blip on a TV screen, there for a second, then you fail to the screams,
Em Bm D A Em
And a million righteous scrambled pixels and then there has gotta be some that slip away,
D G F#m Bm
You're a scrambled shot on a radio, a plastic blip from a plastic stereo,
Em Bm D A Em
And a million righteous beggars screamed that there has gotta be one that slips away,
D G
You're a notch on the sword, you're a nail in the board,
F#m Bm
You should never be born now with all those plans to abort,
Em Bm D A Em
Wishing all those boats back to the edge of the bay, tie them fast and don't let one slip away,
D G F#m Bm
You're a broken kid with a shiny tooth, you seal your mouth with the greenest of truths,
Em Bm D A Em
You shall rise in the fall of the Americans, and leave yourself out of some fray,
D A Em
You shall float upon the slick of a greasiest day.
[Chorus] E F#m Oh, when you run, run, run, run, Run, run, run, D Bm Because you run, run, run, because you're wrong. E F#m When you run, run, run, run, Run, run, run, D Bm Because you run, run, run, because you're wrong. [Verse 2] D G F#m Bm You're a minister at the end of a dream, taxing a hundred ferries so they might cross your stream, Em Bm D A Em So is in the heart of a mariner, who has taken his craft and floated away, D G F#m Bm You'll say bad hole is a gift to the sun, take this couple cloud and wrap it around well you might be stunned, Em Bm D A Em Lightning has a way of striking anyone, who stands in the path of an oilman, D A Em Who shall float in the wake of an oilman, D A Em Who shall float upon the slick of an oilman, D A Em He shall walk onto the sand and say that it's over today. [Chours] E F#m Oh, when you run, run, run, run, Run, run, run, D Bm Because you run, run, run, because you're wrong. E F#m When you run, run, run, run, Run, run, run, D Bm Because you run, run, run, because you're wrong. [Bridge] D Bm G A And don't forget that the demons struck, and they blow their homes by the sea, D Bm G A A chair shall rust by the beaches blustery gust of air as it strikes the day, D Bm G A And you don't forget that the demons struck and they blow their homes by day, D Bm G A Today, today! You were righteous! You were righteous today! [Verse 3] D G F#m Bm And you're on the phone, and you pray for snow, and snow is of all, it's no longer snow, Em Bm D A Em Wait on the limbs of a family man, who shall walk onto some stage, D A Em Who shall walk onto some stage, D A Em Who shall harness your audiences rage, D A Em Who will play his dark porn on the edge of some stage. [Chorus/Outro] E G When you run, run, run, run! E G When you run, run, run, run! E G When you run, run, run, run! E G When you run, run, run, run! D Because you're wrong.
